I've seen a few questions regarding it. So I figured I could make a topic for everyone. There is an app called SA-MP Launcher on the Google Play Store. It allows you to run SAMP on Android. It's not perfect and has some drawbacks such as not being able to use any of the mapped areas except Sandus and Alcatraz. However, if you would like to mess around, preferrably on a device that you do not use daily (just for precaution, although it doesn't seem to trigger Google's "Play Protect" nor does it have any out of the ordinary permissions), I made a short tutorial on how to set it up in another post and figured I could share it in another.

As a quick tutorial, based on what I did:
- Download from Google Play.
- Open app and hit the install client button from the main screen. Hit yes. It will download and when it's done and asks for installation of the apk, hit auto. You'll have to allow unknown sources.
- Once that's done, go back to the Launcher and select full for the cache selection.
- It'll take you back where you have to install client again. Hit that and select yes. It will download the game, about 2.3GB.
- After all that, cash money. You can add CT to the favorites list. (From the main screen servers are at the center of the bottom then select favorites. There are also some additional options like timestamp for the chat and fps you can toggle.)
All in all, it's neat, but not very usable if you want the full experience. It's something I threw on an old LG G5 just to use in downtime with a hotspot or wifi.
